The 2026 legislative session in Indiana will include a bill to ban minors from getting married, as there is currently no federal law prohibiting this practice.
Democratic State Representative Mitch Gore is leading the effort to raise the minimum age for marriage to 18 in Indiana, questioning why minors can take on such a serious commitment.
The proposed Ban Marriage for Minors bill aims to protect young individuals from entering into marriage before they are legally considered adults.
